Phase completion commit now stages VERIFICATION.md alongside ROADMAP.md,
STATE.md, and REQUIREMENTS.md so verification results are tracked.

Milestone audit now reads existing VERIFICATION.md files from phases
(already created during execute-phase) rather than spawning verifiers
again. Aggregates tech debt and deferred gaps, then runs integration
checker for cross-phase wiring. Adds tech_debt status for non-blocking
accumulated debt.
Also adds VERIFICATION.md to phase completion commit in execute-phase.

The ~/.claude/skills/expertise/ system was personal tooling
that doesn't exist for other users. Removed from:
- create-roadmap workflow (detect_domain step)
- plan-phase workflow (domain loading)
- roadmap template (Domain Expertise section)
- phase-prompt template (domain frontmatter)
- plan-format reference (domain field)

Sync execute-plan command and workflow with improved checkpoint display:
- Box header with ╔═══╗ for visual prominence
- Progress indicator at top
- Separator line before unmissable "→ YOUR ACTION:" prompt

The when_to_use section was overly restrictive, refusing research
for "standard" domains. Research benefits any unfamiliar territory,
not just niche technical domains.

- Add verify_phase_goal step to execute-phase workflow
- Verifier outputs structured gaps: YAML for planner consumption
- Add --gaps flag to plan-phase for gap closure mode
- Route by verification status: passed, gaps_found, human_needed
- Gap closure creates sequential plans (04, 05...) from verification gaps
- User stays in control at each decision point

When execute-plan completes the last plan in a phase (summaries = plans),
it now spawns gsd-verifier to verify phase goal achievement before
proceeding to next phase.
Same verification flow as execute-phase, ensuring consistent behavior
regardless of which command is used.

- Goal-backward verification: checks codebase, not SUMMARY claims
- Creates VERIFICATION.md, returns status to orchestrator
- execute-phase spawns gsd-verifier instead of general-purpose

- execute-phase.md: spawn gsd-executor for wave-based parallel execution
- Remove template filling, subagent has all logic baked in

ROADMAP.md, STATE.md, and REQUIREMENTS.md updates now commit
together as phase completion instead of separate commits.

Research now loads concrete requirements (e.g., "AUTH-02: User receives
email verification") to inform research domains, not just high-level
roadmap descriptions.

- Remove phantom status.md command (background agent model abandoned)
- Remove agent-history.md template (unused)
- Remove _archive/ directory
- Add narration to execute-phase (describe what's being built before/after waves)
- Update new-project to offer define-requirements as fast path
- Make define-requirements work without research (gather through questioning)

Promote /gsd:whats-new and update command visibility.
GSD evolves fast — users should check periodically.

Subagents can't determine if phase is complete. The orchestrator
(execute-plan and execute-phase commands) runs in main context,
can count plans vs summaries, and updates REQUIREMENTS.md when
phase completes.
- execute-plan: Step 2.5 updates requirements when summaries = plans
- execute-phase: Step 6 updates requirements (phase always complete)
- Removed duplicate from workflow (subagent can't run it anyway)
- Roadmap template now includes Requirements: field for each phase
- plan-phase loads REQUIREMENTS.md and extracts phase-specific requirements
- define-requirements shows full list inline before commit (not just counts)
Reduce principles.md from 158 to 73 lines:
- Remove duplicates (atomic_commits, tdd, deviation_rules)
- Remove version drag from claude_automates
- Keep core orientation: solo dev model, plans are prompts,
scope control, ship fast, anti-enterprise
Add principles.md to 9 core commands so Claude always
understands what GSD is.

- Follow threads naturally instead of rigid step order
- Cleaner question techniques in questioning.md
- Background context checklist instead of forced checklist mode
- Updated next steps to show research flow
Adds /gsd:research-project to research domain ecosystem before creating roadmap.
Spawns parallel agents to investigate stack, features, architecture, and pitfalls.
New files:
- commands/gsd/research-project.md
- get-shit-done/workflows/research-project.md
- get-shit-done/templates/research-project/ (5 templates)
Modified:
- new-project.md: offers research vs direct roadmap options
- create-roadmap.md: loads research if exists
- workflows/create-roadmap.md: uses research to inform phases

Command now references workflow for checkpoint handling details
instead of duplicating logic. Keeps command thin as intended.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- execute-plan.md: Replace broken Task(resume=...) with fresh continuation agent
- execute-phase.md: Expand checkpoint handling with full continuation flow
- checkpoints.md: Restore ~500 lines of detailed examples and anti-patterns
Checkpoint presentation formats now documented for all three types.
Templates referenced: checkpoint-return.md, continuation-prompt.md

The orchestrator pattern conversion (8ed6a8f) removed workflow context
loading for context efficiency but inadvertently removed the offer_next
step that presents copy/paste-ready next commands after plan/phase
completion.
Added explicit <offer_next> sections to both commands:
- execute-plan.md: routes to next plan, next phase, or milestone complete
- execute-phase.md: routes to next phase or milestone complete
Both include /clear hints and copy/paste-ready command paths.
Fixes#69

- Reads installed version from VERSION file
- Fetches remote changelog from GitHub
- Displays version comparison and missed changes
- Provides update instructions when behind
Remove the global ISSUES.md deferred enhancement tracking system.
- Delete /gsd:consider-issues command (never used)
- Delete issues.md template (never instantiated)
- Remove Rule 5 from deviation rules (never triggered)
- Remove all ISSUES.md, ISS-XXX, and "deferred issues" references
- Update STATE.md to track pending todos instead
The ISSUES.md system was designed to capture non-critical enhancements
during plan execution via "Rule 5", but it never fired in practice
across 100+ projects. The system added ~350 lines of dead code.
The /gsd:add-todo and /gsd:check-todos system serves the same purpose
and is actually used.
Note: UAT *-ISSUES.md files (per-plan, created by /gsd:verify-work)
are unaffected - those are a separate, active system.
Closes#56

- Debug command now orchestrates: gather symptoms in main context, spawn
investigation subagent with fresh 200k context
- Subagent template unified for both /gsd:debug (find_and_fix) and
diagnose-issues (find_root_cause_only) flows via goal flag
- Checkpoint behavior enables subagent to pause for user input
(human-verify, human-action, decision) with continuation agents
- Structured return formats: ROOT CAUSE FOUND, DEBUG COMPLETE,
INVESTIGATION INCONCLUSIVE, CHECKPOINT REACHED
- diagnose-issues updated to match new template placeholders and returns
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Debug files from UAT use same naming as regular debug (slug only)
- UAT.md tracks link via debug_session field
- plan-fix actually invokes execute-plan when user selects it

After UAT finds issues, spawn parallel debug agents to investigate
root causes before planning fixes. Each agent investigates one issue
with symptoms pre-filled from UAT, finds the root cause, and returns
diagnosis.
New files:
- workflows/diagnose-issues.md: Orchestrator for parallel debug agents
- templates/debug-subagent-prompt.md: Prompt template for debug subagents
Modified:
- workflows/debug.md: Add symptoms_prefilled and diagnose-only modes
- workflows/verify-work.md: Offer diagnosis step after issues found
- templates/UAT.md: Add root_cause and debug_session fields
- commands/gsd/plan-fix.md: Use root causes for targeted fix planning
Flow: UAT → diagnose (parallel) → plan-fix (with root causes) → execute

- One test at a time instead of full checklist upfront
- Plain text responses instead of AskUserQuestion forms
- Severity inferred from description, never asked
- Persistent UAT.md survives /clear (like debug workflow)
- Single file per phase replaces per-plan ISSUES.md
- Updated plan-fix to read from UAT.md

Wave numbers now computed during plan-phase and stored in PLAN.md
frontmatter. Execute-phase reads wave directly instead of deriving
from depends_on at runtime.
- Add assign_waves step to plan-phase workflow
- Add wave field to frontmatter (plan-format, phase-prompt template)
- Simplify execute-phase: remove analyze_dependencies and group_into_waves
- Replace with group_by_wave that just reads frontmatter integers

- Fix brownfield example to use execute-phase instead of execute-plan
- Remove /gsd:resume-task command (relies on broken Task resume)
- Checkpoint continuation now uses fresh agents, not resume
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
execute-plan.md command now spawns subagent instead of executing directly:
- Loads only subagent-task-prompt template (~100 lines vs ~2200)
- Subagent loads full execute-plan workflow, summary, checkpoints, tdd
- Handles checkpoint returns with resume flow
- ~80% context reduction for orchestrator
Also updated subagent-task-prompt.md description to clarify it's used by
both execute-phase (parallel) and execute-plan (single) orchestrators.

Scope boundaries are implicit from the roadmap. Asking about them
creates the sensation of scope creep and interrogates the user about
constraints they didn't mention.
